With this cooler weather, comes the Keeneland Yearling September Sale. With just under 2 weeks before the book 1 horses begin shipping in to hopefully take a walk across the auction stage, the pressure is on. The sale lasts from September 8th-20th. The CORE Therapies team is wishing the best of luck to everyone involved in this endeavor.

We have two weeks until the first yearlings arrive in Saratoga, New York for the Saratoga Select sale. And three weeks until the New York Breds start arriving. Dr. Larkspur will accompany the yearlings on the other side of the long ship. Let the countdown to the marathon of sales truly begin. We wish luck to all our owners, farms, buyers, and consigners in the coming weeks. https://www.fasigtipton.com/2025/The-Saratoga-Sale #/gd

The CORE Therapies team has worked diligently to identify the most common ailments or complaints that we experience with our equine athletes. Upon identifying them, we outlined specific exercises that we would recommend in these instances. These handouts are designed to illustrate the more common recommendations with thorough descriptions and easy to follow illustrations. We have condensed the topics down to 2-4 page format with visual models that make the exercises easy to follow.

If you are interested in these materials you can visit our website at https://www.coretherapiesdvm.com/category/all-products where you can purchase the PDF access of the compete collection for $48 or individual categories for $8.

Rainy days in the office can always be a little difficult. So it’s always nice to have a partner to keep you company. Kevin is being the emotional support pup for today’s rainy adventures.

This past week we hosted a class of KEMI Students at the farm. We are honored to host events like this for students to introduce them to Equine Chiropractic through an up close demonstration.

‘Tis the season for blankets, mud, ice, and all of an equestrian’s “favorite” things.

We love the work we do, and it’s amazing how much a little gesture like a clean and dry horse can mean to us on these cold days.

We get that it won’t always be possible, but it’s a gentle reminder that something like this could make your vets or farriers or body workers’ day a little bit better and job just a little bit easier.

💝

Just a polite request made for every Veterinarian, Farrier, Massage Therapist or frankly anyone who works on horses for a living.

Please have your horse clean, brushed off, legs and feet cleaned. Please do not apply hoof oil before the vet or farrier comes.

This is an all year round request. But especially this time of year. I will not put hypodermic needles (vaccines, coggins, regional limb blocks, microchips) or acupuncture needles through mud and dirt. Acupuncture horses need to be dry. When I do lameness exams or spinal manipulations I am going to be touching the legs and feet. Mud does show up on radiographs and can look like unwanted things.

Please, please, please have your horses clean and preferably dry for our appointments.

This is a picture of what is not ok, and this was the clean side.

Your, sick of being covered in mud and wet, veterinarian. 😬😬

Foam pads of varying levels of firmness are marketed to help improve equine balance, with veterinarians and owners reporting anecdotal success. Now, a scientific study on the use of balance pads has been published, and shows promising results.

We are all feeling the heat with the high temps and high humidity, and so are our four legged companions.

We hope you all are staying cool and hydrated during this heat wave.

During the summer months, it is important for horse owners, riders, and trainers to pay extra attention to the well-being of their equine athletes during periods of high heat and humidity. The combination of intense exercise and elevated temperatures can put any athlete, including horses, at risk of...
